There are a lot of examples of python metric modules as well as 'C' metric modules. The source for all of these examples as well as real life functional modules, has all been checked into SVN. You can take a look at the python modules here http://ganglia.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ganglia/trunk/monitor-core/gmond/python_modules/ and the 'C' modules here http://ganglia.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ganglia/trunk/monitor-core/gmond/modules/ . The python modules especially, are very easy to write and they do support multiple metrics per module. In fact the example module itself is returning two metrics. There is a small document on how to create a python module here http://ganglia.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ganglia/trunk/monitor-core/gmond/modules/python/README?revision=840&view=markup . Take a look and let me know what you think. Brad ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
